Bonus Point Weekends

I'm sure people have mentioned this before, but a number of other franchises offer bonus weeks/weekends as a way to promote playership.

I'd be excited to see double Wolfmark, aetheric light, tomestone, allied seal weekends introduced, possibly even a rotation between the different sorts of currency. It would give the prospective weeks/weekends a sense of prestige and an incentive for players to log in. "Remember to log in this weekend, double tomes." I hope to see this in the future.

We need more events that do not consist on furniture.
You got my like/vote.

Just like Call of Duty double exp weekends.

Absolute blasphemy! I've almost completed a whole furniture set from event items, for that house that I still can't afford!! I demand more furniture!

This only game I play that never does events like u mention....other game s tend to do such events...double exp...double drop...double entry to lockout ect.

Absolutely, and I've had my fill of goofy looking level 1 earrings or headpieces. If anything I'd like to see some more Final Fantasy-style glamour to expand the population's diversity of appearance. Not too many people are truly interested in running around with an egg on their head.

If they were able to get the fashion to even half as much as the amount available in Mabinogi, I'd be a happy Lalafell. Of course without the horrible gacha spam that is involved with Mabinogi...

You know while that sound like a awesome idea when we have free login weekend you can't even play the game. So much lag on anything you do maybe once they fix that issue we can have this.

More event during weekend.
-Fishing event.
-Mining event
-Logging event
-Crafting event

-Death match
-Sight seeing event
-Special quest event
-Smart Minion event

And fore more EPIC *Naked Race* not literally naked.

No. I'd rather reward people playing constantly throughout the entire week rather than people who just play heavily during the weekend.

I actually hate these things in other games. After cash shops, I think they're one of the biggest contributors to an overall "cheap" and less professional feeling.

I would like to see something like this, if nothing else than for PvP. It would be a great way to get the PvP community all active at once. Its hard to nail down the best times to PvP as it is right now.

What makes you say that?

Events, maybe, extra xp/tomes etc, no. Like was stated above it will just lead to a lull during the week, and punishes those who cannot play on weekends.

I approve. Anything to make it worth playing with the trolling weekend players, instead of the end-game players capping on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Will this not lead to "Ah I won't log in during the week, I'll cap when the bonus is up", for example?

only thing id want it for is pvp bonus nothing else.. tomes etc are easy enough to farm.. but they need to find ways to drastically shorten the pvp wait times... 2 hours for a loss is a joke im just hoping the new frontlines in heavensward considerably shortens the queues but dont like the chances of that happening :(

It'd be nice if they were a bit more dynamic about it, sort of like EQ1's hot zones.
Is X dungeon not getting as many queues as usual? add a bonus to exp/tomes!

Sure it will, for some. But the idea of double weekends isn't to hold them so regularly as to make them trivial. I think most people will simply be playing the game as normal while taking extra advantage of the weekend for extras or catch-up. It's how it's always worked with games which ran similar events.

This idea gets my full support. Double nexus light would be a great weekend too. It already takes an age to get anywhere with it.

I'd really like to see a change in roulette bonusses so they stack up like guildleves and you can burn through them all at once if you want, instead of having to do them daily. Maybe cap them at 3 or 5 or something, but just make it so it doesn't feel like such a laundry list of chores you need to complete each day.

And I like the idea of bonus weekends in general, it's a good way of encouraging people to get more involved in gameplay modes they wouldn't usually touch. A general XP/currency bonus would be kind of boring, but things like hunt/PVP bonusses, extra FATE rewards, extra rewards from synced-down content, stuff like that.

maybe in ARR.
But during 1.0 we had:
Grand Company Fondation event 2011 - double GC seals reward
Grand Company Foundation event 2012 - kill Atomos, get a special crystal (also get your Anima refreshed) and get 25k seals for it from your Grand Company


But exp events we really don't need it with all the exp bonuses already ingame.

agreed, but I submit having events for the pvpers. They need some form of support.

There is no 'punishment' involved in bonus windows. If a player doesn't log in during the weekend, then so be it. If I miss a bonus light window was I punished? Not participating in the window doesn't hurt your current progress, rather taking part only enhances it. However, when avenues for optimal progression limit the ways in which a player can enjoy their time logged in, I am obliged to remember how often and enthusiastically the development team preaches options and diversity to achieve goals.

Double exp weekends? Some bonus in the weekends?...

ARE YOU CRAZY?.... DO YOU WANT TO.... Make this little noob who can only play the weekends happy?... >_<...






Thread total approval, OP like.
